Louis L'Amour Quote
« on: April 13, 2010, 11:12:28 AM »
I saw this over on SurivialBlog.com and thought it was worth sharing.

"No one of us is ever safe. There is no security this side of the grave. A shipwreck or a hurricane can put man back to the brink of savagery, both in the means he uses to get his food and the lengths he will go to get it. The more ill-prepared people are to face trouble, the more likely they are to revert to savagery against each other."

- Novelist Louis L’Amour (1908-1988) from his novel "Bendigo Shafter"

Another quote by him

"When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws have guns." 

That is my favorite quote by Louis L'Amour

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." by President Ronald Reagan

His books are the best ever.  Always a life lesson of some kind in each book.  If you've not read "Education of a Wandering Man", his life story, it's a hell of a read.
